The staff was friendly and always moving to keep the place running smoothly. Unlike most "antique"…read moreshops, most of the items here are NOT overpriced by their sellers (some are, but most are not). The building was formerly a medical facility so the "booths" are exam rooms that are well-lit and well organized. There are a range of sellers, from typical nostalgic toys and games to the usual novelty glassware, Pyrex, trading cards, clothing, books, VHS tapes and DVDs, records and CD's, some framed prints (we purchased one) and mirrors - even live plants. You can also find a range of old cameras that make nice decorations and other shelf-fillers and conversation pieces. Maybe you need a flip-top hinged wood box to sit on your table that you open up to reveal a clock when you want to know the time of day, instead of looking at your watch or phone. Maybe you're old school like that. This place has your back. The store has 3 levels, and all are clean, spacious, and well organized. There are a couple of niche "tricks" and novelties but I won't spoil the surprises - go see for yourself. Also there were a few pinball games and arcade games (bring your quarters) to keep little ones entertained, if they aren't constantly asking you what a cassette is or what you do with that GI Joe action figure. The layout and presentation by the vendors is imaginative with plenty of clever lights and scents. On a humid summer day the plethora of window AC units supplementing the main HVAC worked wonderfully. The owner has gone out of their way to decorate the common areas in clever and entertaining ways. As a nice plus, because this was a medical facility there were actually spacious and well-running bathrooms, not the mop closet smelling like mold, RAID insect spray, mustard gas, and livestock that most antique stores throw a toilet in (which generally has about a 25% success rate of actually flushing). The entire place is wheelchair accessible and has a functioning elevator, although fitting a wheelchair in every aisle of every booth is not possible. However, I bet the very kind staff there or a fellow peruser would be happy to help you. They even have a never-used porta-potty dressing room to try on clothing (don't be a snob, you're the one trying on used clothes). In all, I bought a couple of items and will come back to see how the stock has rotated. Pro Tip: go to the checkout area first near the ground floor entrance; they sell canned booze like Truly and several varieties of beer as well as water and novelty flavored sodas and root beers. There are also packaged snacks and candy. Do this first so you can enjoy your sundries as you stroll this expansive joint. We were in there for almost 3 hours and didn't get bored. My only regret was not knowing I could have enjoyed some adult beverages while doing so.

My friend and I checked out the new location of True North, down the street from the original (the…read moreold one is still there; this has just expanded the venture!) I actually like the layout here better; I believe this location was formerly a nursing home, and all the vendor booths are in the separate rooms off the main hall, plus an independent bookstore near the entrance. Staff were very friendly and helpful. There's an area near the registers where you can create a "pile" as you shop so you don't have to carry everything around. I found a beautiful glass jar, a stoneware vase, a game from the bookstore, and a gift for a friend! But you can find almost anything: clothing, jewelry, dishes, glassware, cookware, records, home decor, nostalgic and creepy art (such as monster movies and repainted dolls), stickers, books, toys and more. Definitely worth checking out in Morris!

This place is exceptionally dirty, unorganized, and has no rhyme or reason, and I wouldn't have it any other way! It is a thrifters dream. Don't wear something nice, you will get dirty. If you have allergies, take a Claritin before hand. It is worth a visit, trust me! They have furniture, China, glassware, lamps, art, kitchen stuff, old nuts/bolts/fittings, old tools, and more. They have a little bit of everything. It's a labyrinth of small paths, dead ends, strange rooms, all full to the ceiling with stuff, literally stuff hanging from the ceiling.

There's aquamarine and opal earrings, peridot and garnet bracelets, diamond and pearl necklaces, emerald and ruby bands...you'll be in awe by the selection inside the long glass cases. I began going as a kid, tagging along with my dad when he would buy my mom piece of jewelry for a special occasion. I loved accompanying him and having a say in what he should get her. The last few years I've gone on my own, spending many hours trying on diamond engagement rings and wedding sets. Sue, the owner, has always been gracious (and patient) in letting me wear and admire ring after ring. Some of her rings have a good story behind them, and I always enjoy hearing where certain pieces came from, their style, etc. (Fun fact: her oldest ring is over 200 years old!) Last December, I FINALLY bought a ring from Paraphernalia, which I like to refer to as my "back up engagement ring". The antique engagement ring--dating back to the 1890s--has a row of five stones of mine-cut diamonds and alternating sapphires. It's simple, it's elegant, and--most importantly--it's from an antique from a shop I cherish. For those of you looking for a piece of jewelry, I encourage you to pay a visit to Paraphernalia before walking into any other jewelry store. Once you see all that glistens and sparkles inside Sue's glass cases, you're going to want to stay awhile and try on all of them.

Sparsely populated with some friendly people running their booths, it's not worth travelling more than 10-15 minutes away to visit, because you can get through the whole "fair" in about 20 minutes. Pictures on their website are out of date, and show when they used to be on larger space with a lot more vendors. Not worth the trip unless your driving by the area and need some handmade soap or a fresh baked loaf of bread or coffee cake.
